Hi Peter,

Thanks for the summary. That sort of stuff is gold for us who are newbies with some of these utilities. But I wanted to point out one thing you don't have right yet. You wrote:

Mapnik is the new kid on the block, its used for open street map among other things. It does much of what mapserver does, but _mapnik has anti-aliasing_, hence does nice raster renders. The API is pretty much all

MapServer does too. Just use the AGG driver in the OUTPUTFORMAT object in the mapfile to get nice-looking antialiasing over the entire map.
